My mind forgives
My heart cant forget
Torn into pieces
Not really knowing what to do
Hurtful words
Rewind
Over, and over, and
Over again.
My mind forgives
My heart cries out
Hurt, sad, confused
It takes time
I lie to myself
Just time
Time on that clock
Tick, tock.. tick tock
Looking into your eyes
It hurts, hurts to know you
Hurts to know you think badly of me
Of me.. me of all people
I was always so honest
Never once hid a thing
My mind forgets
Yet my heart….
Is no longer whole.

Whats forgiveness? I guess its something that each person has to deal with their own way. I can proudly say that Im still going strong.. not as strong as Ive ever been.. but.. not allowing myself to get down.

What's forgiveness? That a good question. Like you, I find it difficult and my mind also goes "over and over and over" what happened.
An excellent write. -

Very sad. For almost a year, or maybe a little more than a year, I always felt like I had a permanent blockage in my heart from pain like this. I feel that the deeper the hole that pain and loss digs in our hearts,the more space we have to fill with love....when it comes. It's the waiting that's the hard part.

remember this... forgiveness is a gift and when no matter what has hurt you... it becomes a blessing that will help you rise above all else...and carry on

Long time no see your name around. Hope all is ok with you.
Forgive is always so much easier than forget, only time can help us with that

Forgiveness is really tough, grandaughter, and ever so complicated. When we get hurt, it's not the natural thing we want to do - even if everyone says it's the best thing to do. And somehow you keep going, always going, and pretty durn strong from what I've seen too. And, wherever you are I expect you'll keep it up, not without some moments of doubt and hurt. But, you've always been one of poppy's toughies and I'm always proud of you for it.
Love ya, grandaughter,

Well your definatly right dear. Forgiveness is a pain in the ass, been learning that the hard way with the whole thing going on with my dad lately. Funny isn't it? The brain and the heart being the two most vital organs in our bodies, but rarely do they agree on certain things.

I'm proud of you for staying strong... I know it's not always easy and it takes a very special person to be able to keep on going strong. Forgiveness is an incredibly difficult concept and you can only do what feels right for you. I'm always here if you need someone - it's been awhile since we've talked but I still haven't gone anywhere. Very well written, as usual and full of emotion. Glad to see you writing again.
